THE BENEFITS OF BEING SINGLE
When you come by our editorial office and talk about love, you should know that we are divided into two camps. The camp with the ladies who have been happily with the same boy for years, and the camp with the singles. I belong to the second camp. Since I was sixteen, I was always ‘the relationship girl’. I went from an on-and-off relationship of five years (which you get when it's long distance ) to a relationship of almost four years, until it was broken two years ago and Mr. Right turned out to be Mr. Wrong. A heavy heartbreak included yes, but you live and you learn.
But hey, that single life is not so bad after all. Want to know why?
– That big bed of yours is really nice all to yourself. No one next to you who steals the blanket or practically pushes you out of bed because he just rolls around and takes up way too much space. Bye.
– You can wrap yourself in your duvet, Lil just said to me. YAAASS, how wonderful in winter.
– No more cold feet against you from your bed buddy. Because honestly: how annoying is it when you feel those cold legs of your neighbor against you? Put on some socks or something.
– You never have to defend yourself if you hang out in the city a little longer than you planned.
– No annoying texts with ‘where are you?’, ‘you said you would be home on time tonight?’ ‘Why aren't you responding to my messages?’ ‘What are you doing?’ ‘Who are you with?’ Leave me alone.
– And if you're enjoying the city, you can flirt and mess around with whoever you goddamn please. That cute bartender? Check.
- This the list can also be checked off.
– You can date whoever you want and whenever you want. And then you also find out what you're looking for in a partner and what you absolutely do not want.
– You know what I always found so annoying when I lived with my ex? When he put the toilet roll on the holder the wrong way. You won't have to deal with that anymore.
– Or arguments about what to watch on Netflix.
– Bought new clothes again? You don't have to come up with excuses that you've really had that coat/dress/sweater/shoes for months.
– Do you want to go to Croatia for a week but he prefers Ibiza? Not a problem. You can choose all your destinations yourself.
– You can always invite your friends over without consulting. Hello spontaneous plans, we love you.
– You can eat that bag of chips or M&M's all by yourself. No annoying guy who practically eats the whole bag before you've even had any. Or who comments like: ‘Haven't you had enough?’
- Such a cake you can also order for yourself.
– Forgot to shave? You can get away with that just fine.
– And then to end on a mega cliché: you have all the time in the world to get to know yourself better. Then that nice guy will peek around the corner by himself.
